Description
Østerådalen Nord is easy to get to, easy to get around and with good opportunities to see the birds up close. The different nature types provide plenty of opportunity to experience a diverse palette of birds. In the so-called 'bird lakes' at the southern end, various ducks and grebes roost. In the surrounding reed forests, (Μεγάλο) Καλαμοτσίχλονο and Σχοινοποταμίδα can be seen, and if you're lucky, Μουστακαλής and Γαλαζολαίμης. The nearby meadows occasionally offer waders under the right conditions. (Ευρωπαϊκή) Καλημάνα breeds in the area.
In the late evening hours, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Ψαρόνι , (Κοινή) Καρακάξα and crows gather for the night, and (Ευρασιατικός) Ήταυρος and (Ευρωπαϊκή) Νεροκοτσέλα call from the reeds. (Κοκκινόλαιμο) Νανοβουτηχτάρι and (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη can be seen in the stream. In the winter, the site is a good place for (Ευρωπαϊκή) Νεροκελάδα.
